Writing this in mid-May, 7 weeks into lock-down because of COVID19. So many changes to our daily lives. Shortly after writing the March blog, Worthing Museum & Art Gallery closed to the public along with other cultural institutions across the country. My exhibition, A Strange and Familiar Sea, is still in the Studio Gallery but the museum is not planning to reopen until at least 2 July. Everyone’s plans are up in the air, postponed or cancelled.
Sussex Life Magazine had interviewed me shortly before the museum closed and they included the interview in their May issue.

My MA Photography course was on break until mid April and tutorials resumed online. The university is likely to remain closed until September. There have been a lot of changes to how we work but now it feels easier. One of the strange things is not being able to go down to the coast and shoot. Luckily I went twice in mid-March so gathered a lot of material. The photo at the top was taken on my final pre-lock-down trip. I submitted my final critical context paper at the end of April and have continued to work on my project at home.
